George A. Sedlacek

I miss you George. Wish you were here. I hope to be as good of a man as you.

I am deeply saddened to hear about his passing. His influence reached beyond the canvas, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of our memories. In the brushstrokes of his guidance, we discovered not only the technical finesse of art but also the boundless landscapes of our creative souls. Each stroke, each critique, and every shared moment were threads woven into the rich fabric of our artistic journeys. His passion for nurturing creativity and unlocking the potential within each...

I was lucky enough to have George as a teacher during my time at North Star. He encouraged me to try new things. Years later because of that art department, I went into teaching art myself. Now I am back at North Star and that room holds many fond memories of his class and all the amazing still life items he had decorating the room. He had an impact on many young minds.

I am so sad to hear of George's passing. He was a wonderful friend and teacher to so many. My condolences to Laurie and her family, he talked of you all often and was so proud. He will be missed.

I was so sad to just recently hear the news of George's passing. My wife and I were both able to work with George for several years as we opened North Star. Such a kind man with a terrific sense of humor. I know he will be missed greatly by family, but also missed by so many of his former colleagues and friends. He was one of a kind. I will certainly miss him. Thinking of his family at this time.

What a sad day to see this news of Mr. Sedlacek's passing. No words could do justice to how much our crossing paths means to me. I was diagnosed with a severe chronic illness at age 16 and his 6th period photography class saved my life. He didn't have to open up his room ahead of class nor sit with me waxing philosophic but he did. His company became a huge solace to the chaos that was happening to my body. We got into such a familial comfortability that I took to calling him Dad. When he...

What a loss. George was a hugely influential person in my life. He was without a doubt one of the people that "gave me permission" to become an artist. He knew how to instill confidence of purpose with respect and humor. I graduated from Lincoln High in 1982. In 1987 I graduated from UNL with a Bachelors of Fine Art. My field of study was ceramics. During my 5 college years of practice and reflection I would often times think back to the Lincoln High clay rooms when George said to me "Mr. ...

To the family of George Sedlacek - Please accept my sincere condolences. I met George early in my professional career at Lincoln High School. As we worked together to support student success in and outside the classroom, I found George to be genuine in expressing his concerns for students. He carried himself in a professional manner. I found George to be personable and compassionate. May he rest in peace. Jake Kirkland Jr.
